A Dream called America’ is a documentary made on Shahbaz, a 15 year old boy from Ahmedabad. He is the third among five children of Aftab, who makes a living by repairing cycles on a footpath. Shahbaz had studied in the US for a year on a scholarship, where he was hosted by an American couple. The one year he spent in US changed his attitude, as he experienced a very comfortable and carefree life, different from his modest home in Ahmedabad. After reaching India, he badly wants to go back and settle in the US, leaving his parents in a dilemma.
